This looks like a good car to just go out and have a blast with... and that, to me, is the best kind of car.  |
Thanks Greggers. Oh I agree - I started with a 35-40k budget on the last one and it took off from there, 95% due to me adding things and upgrading. It's a given. I don't blame the cost on the last project on anyone but me. Once I got the car out of the first nightmare shop and took it to Gearhead, I was taken very good care of. I have nothing but great things to say about that shop I want that to be known. I just didnt get to enjoy that car enough and my life changed in those 3 long years.
But you are right on - a nice car that isn't too fancy or perfect paint/body so I can go out and have fun with it. Just what I want and need right now.

YES! I was in love with a 67 I saw for sale but just couldn't pull the trigger because of my forum screen names... Kidding of course.

I'm thinking loose the front bumper...get some fuel and raise some hell!! Oh, and head to Oregon so I can have a ride!! |
Yes it is certainly a buyer's market these days. Not quite $16k tho.
I am coming to see my relatives again in Portland in the spring I believe - we'll see if this car will join me.
